From John Carlson’s two touchdown performance to Todd Heap’s ten catch day, the unlikely TEs did the damage. Let’s take a look a the tight end rankings for the divisional round..
1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots: Came on strong down the stretch averaging 56 yards and a score in the last four games..
2. Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens: Coming off an monster game (ten catches, 108 yards). Should see a lot of check downs against the Steelers..
3. Aaron Hernandez, New England Patriots: Ripped the Jets for 152 yards and a score on nine catches..
4. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons: Disappointed most of the year, but caught six passes for 51 yards and a score in Week 12 against the Packers..
5. Dustin Keller, New York Jets: Mixed results against the Pats this year. Led Jets with nine targets against the Colts. Should be active once again..
6. Greg Olsen, Chicago Bears: Mr. Inconsistent. Didn’t catch a pass in the first meeting with the Seahawks..
7. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers: Only had three catches for 43 yards in the two meetings with Baltimore..
8. John Carlson, Seattle Seahawks: Scored two touchdowns last week, but still managed just 17 yards. He’s not a strong bet to have another big game based on his season totals..
9. Andrew Quarless, Green Bay Packers: Rodgers does spread the ball around so he has a chance to produce. That also makes it harder to rely on him. .

Last week Dwayne Bowe, Reggie Wayne, and Greg Jennings combined for 9 yards making the wide receiver position one of the toughest to predict in the playoffs. I think normalcy will be restored this weekend, but that could just be wishful thinking..
1. Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers: After getting held to eight yards last week, I think Jennings will bounce back in a big way against Atlanta. Jennings was one of the top receivers in the second half and the Pack will look to get him back on track. He had 119 yards in the first meeting..
2. Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers: Wallace closed the season out with three straight 100 yard games. Big Ben will rely on his speedy receiver to move the chains..
3. Santonio Holmes, New York Jets: The Pats struggled to cover him in the the first meeting. Even though they’ll look to slow the tempo with the running game, the Jets will need to throw the ball if they want to pull off the upset. Holmes will get plenty of opportunities..
4. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons: Roddy caught 115 passes on the year, and will again be a big focus. He was held to 49 yards in the first meeting, but I’m expecting a stronger performance this time..
5. Anquan Boldin, Baltimore Ravens: Boldin delivered in his first playoff game with Baltimore by catching a touchdown in the back of the end zone. He played well in both meetings with Pittsburgh, and should be a strong factor once again. continue reading »
